Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag will not be worried about Casemiro's Europa League performance on Thursday night. Real Sociedad claimed a 1-0 victory over United at Old Trafford thanks to a controversial penalty decision.
Former Man City midfielder David Silva saw his shot blocked by Lisandro Martinez on the edge of the area, as the Argentinian flung himself between the goal and the ball.
The strike cannoned off Martinez's knee and on to his arm, yet bizarrely the referee pointed to the spot. As the replays filtered through, it appeared obvious that VAR would overturn the on-field decision - yet to the bemusement of those watching, the spot kick stood and Sociedad took the lead.
